DVD Review: Xavier: Renegade Angel
Adult Swim has had a history of weird shows. Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Squidbilies, and Tim and Eric Show: Great Job! to name a few. But none compare to the weirdness of Xavier: Renegade Angel. This show makes little to no sense at times, and even ends with no conclusion. It’s an exercise in confusion for the most part. It seems that watching them back to back helps to make sense of the episodes. Xavier: Renegade Angel is basically about the wanderings of a deformed person trying to enlighten and save the world.
